Hi!! My name is Mia and I am trying to make it home for my niece's birthday. I recently was saving funds to make it home but had to use them for an emergency trip home when my father ended up in the ICU. His blood levels were at 1200 and I flew home from LA the next morning. I almost lost my dad and was pretty worried while home. Thankfully, he got the care he needed and is doing much better. But, the plan I initially planned for which was my niece's birthday is not difficult to make it to. I promised her that I would be able to come but funds are extremely tight. I have a 7 month old puppy that I've also really wanted my family to meet but haven't had the funds to do so. If you've read this far or see it in your heart to donate, please do. It would mean the world to me. I have pictures of Ash, my puppy. And recent photos of when I had to visit my dad in the ICU. I know it's not like all the other stories on here but it is very important to me. Thank you to anyone who can help.
